Quantitative characterization of the formation of [OsjCCCO) from a smaller precursor on MgO was characterized by NMR spectroscopy. The multistep synthesis from Os3(CO)i2 gave [Os5C(CO)iJ2- in a yield of about 65% other products included tri- and tetra-osmium carbonyl clusters (Figure 10.4). The clusters on MgO have been observed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (Figure 10.5). ...

The first mixed-metal cluster of Os-Pd, [Os6Pd(bipy)(CO)i8], was reported in 1994, and since then a variety of mixed-metal cluster that contain various Os Pd ratios have been created. Palladium-pyridine complexes appear to be useful reagents in the synthesis of mixed-metal clusters with osmium carbonyl compounds. " The reaction of the coordinately unsaturated cluster [Os3(yu-H)2(CO)io] with [Pd(NH3)2l2] afforded a number of Os-Pd clusters with a high hydride content. " Both palladium phosphine and bidentate phosphine complexes are useful in the preparation of high-nuclearity mixed-metal clusters. The reaction of [Os3(/i-H)2(CO)io] with [Pd2(/i-dppm)2Cl2] gave 258 and 259, in addition to 260, with the same metal core, " in which the molecule contains a twofold symmetry axis. " " ... 

Syntheses from Dry Metals and Salts. Only metaUic nickel and iron react direcdy with CO at moderate pressure and temperatures to form metal carbonyls. A report has claimed the synthesis of Co2(CO)g in 99% yield from cobalt metal and CO at high temperatures and pressures (91,92). The CO has to be absolutely free of oxygen and carbon dioxide or the yield is drastically reduced. Two patents report the formation of carbonyls from molybdenum and tungsten metal (93,94). Ruthenium and osmium do not react with CO even under drastic conditions (95,96). 

In the early work on the thermolysis of metal complexes for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles, the precursor carbonyl complex of transition metals, e.g., Co2(CO)8, in organic solvent functions as a metal source of nanoparticles and thermally decomposes in the presence of various polymers to afford polymer-protected metal nanoparticles under relatively mild conditions [1-3]. Particle sizes depend on the kind of polymers, ranging from 5 to >100 nm. The particle size distribution sometimes became wide. Other cobalt, iron [4], nickel [5], rhodium, iridium, rutheniuim, osmium, palladium, and platinum nanoparticles stabilized by polymers have been prepared by similar thermolysis procedures. Besides carbonyl complexes, palladium acetate, palladium acetylacetonate, and platinum acetylac-etonate were also used as a precursor complex in organic solvents like methyl-wo-butylketone [6-9]. These results proposed facile preparative method of metal nanoparticles. However, it may be considered that the size-regulated preparation of metal nanoparticles by thermolysis procedure should be conducted under the limited condition. 

Many carbonyl and carbonyl metallate complexes of the second and third row, in low oxidation states, are basic in nature and, for this reason, adequate intermediates for the formation of metal— metal bonds of a donor-acceptor nature. Furthermore, the structural similarity and isolobal relationship between the proton and group 11 cations has lead to the synthesis of a high number of cluster complexes with silver—metal bonds.1534"1535 Thus, silver(I) binds to ruthenium,15 1556 osmium,1557-1560 rhodium,1561,1562 iron,1563-1572 cobalt,1573 chromium, molybdenum, or tungsten,1574-1576 rhe-nium, niobium or tantalum, or nickel. Some examples are shown in Figure 17.
